In Loving Memory
I worked with David at the Telepone Company for several years and knew of his great love of the machinery we worked with. He was very proud of his ancestor, Daniel Boone and spoke fondly of that fact. Yes he would say, it is THAT Daniel Boone. He had a sharp wit and was a good man to work with. You knew he knew his STUFF. Please accept my heart felt condolences. Roland Arterburn

Aunt Janelle, Will, Chris, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never got the pleasure of meeting dave, I had a few good conversations with him on FB, and very much enjoyed reading the funny things he posted there. Janelle, you have always been, and always be like a mother to me, and the boys, like little brothers. I love and miss you all. If you need anything at all, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love you, Krista.

Dave and I worked together on the Microwave Radio crew for a number of years. I learned a great respect for Dave's intelligence and his wit. People may not know this, but he volunteered to tutor math students in his spare time after work. He would have made a great college professor and had an amazing memory. He also was quite good on the guitar. I am saddened by his death. We kept in touch for a time after his retirement via email. I was honored that he called me his friend. Dave, thanks for those times we spent in the snow cat going to Mud Flat and for the funny "64m007 radio" humor over the years. I will miss your company in the days I have remaining. Danny
